Chipirones

Application and ordering

In horeca kitchens, chipirones are usually deep-fried and served hot as tapas, an appetiser or finger food, often with a dip, aioli or a wedge of lemon on the side. Because the pieces are already floured, a short frying time is enough to make them crispy without any extra preparation in the kitchen, which keeps plating time down during a busy service and also makes the product suitable for catering menus and events where speed at the buffet matters. The product is part of Epic's broader finger foods range, which alongside chipirones also includes calamares romana in various coating thicknesses, breaded squid strips and cooked squid tapas; buyers looking for a complete squid finger food offer for their menu will find the full range in the same shop category. Within that range, chipirones stand out through their smaller, individual squid pieces, unlike the shaped rings of the calamares romana or the longer strips of the rabas references, which makes them suitable as a standalone tapas portion or as part of a mixed seafood platter. Chipirones are available as a frozen product for foodservice distributors, wholesalers and horeca businesses that want to work with a fixed stock without depending on fresh deliveries. The packaging of 1 kg per unit, in boxes of 4 units, is tailored to professional kitchens and central kitchens that order in larger volumes and want to hold the product in frozen storage between deliveries. Prices become visible after logging in to the Epic webshop; those who do not yet have access can contact Epic for a quotation and for information about delivery.
